Teen Fugitive Asks Police for More Flattering Photo

Amy Sharp may look dangerous, but that's not how she wants to be seen. The 18-year-old from Sydney, who recently escaped police custody, resurfaced online several days later by asking a local news station to use a more attractive photo of her to disseminate to the public.

Sharp fled from a Sydney police station on August 19, whereupon the authorities sent her mugshot to 7 News Sydney. The TV station shared a Facebook post describing Sharp and advising the public not to approach her—a post which Sharp eventually commented on—she offered a different, more flattering photo for them to share.

We may not all have the guts or sass to do it, but you have to give Sharp certain props for her comment and suggested substitution. Unfortunately, the teenager didn't do much to defuse stereotypes about selfie-obsessed millennials.
